Fall 2008 Movies

0Josh • 24th Sep 2008 • blog entries, i'm a nerd, Links

The fall movie season is my favorite of the year.  Its when good films premier and they aren’t as concerned about being a summer or thanksgiving / Christmas blockbuster.  Last fall I remember seeing “American Gangster”, “Michael Clayton”, “Dan in Real Life” and “Gone Baby, Gone” all within a few weeks of each other and being blown away at the quality of each film.  This fall there is another lineup of great, and creative movies.  Ghost Town stars “The Office” creator Ricky Gervais and looks to be a funny and original comedy.  “Battle in Seattle” is intriguing to me because of the local flavor in this movie… I remember watching and listening to the news during this event in 1999.  A Thousand Years of Good Prayers is going into limited release this month, hopefully it will go into wider distribution soon.  Flash of Genius and Changeling are the two films on this list that I’m anticipating the most…. although I’m a bit apprehensive with Genius, hopefully the movie can live up to the trailer and won’t disappoint.  James Bond, and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button will close out the fall movie season and will lead into the holidays.
